On
this page, from time to time I plan to display things that I've discovered
in my meanderings around the Caribbean and elsewhere. I'll try to
bring interesting and innovative items that have proved to be useful to
me, and which I believe might be of interest to other travelers who visit
my web site. While some things may be available for purchase
from Yours Truly, I'll also be endeavoring to locate and list things and
ideas which may be helpful to folks visiting a tropical vacation destination.

I'll bet that this has happened
to you! You go out on the beach or out by the pool and find a lounge
in just the right spot! You spread your beach towel out on your lounge.
And, then you try to secure one end to the backrest in such a way that
the towel won't slide down. If you're like Yours Truly, you try tucking
the end of the towel into the lacing on the lounge. Right?
Well, the only thing is, just as soon as you sit down on the lounge, the
towel pulls out and, there you are -- with the towel bunched behind your
butt and not behind your back where it should be!

Available in colors

Press snug across the lounge
bar

Simply pull up end to remove

Well, don't
despair, have I got JUST the thing for YOU!!

THE
TOWEL GRIP® !!!"The Grip
That Won't Let Your Towel Slip!"

Only $5.00
each (+ $1.00 S & H)

Available in colors

Press snug across the lounge
bar

Simply pull up end to remove

While on the island of Bonaire,
Nina happened to see a funny li'l plastic contraption in a gift shop.
It had "Towel Grip" molded right into the plastic. After we figured out
exactly what it was for, Nina said, "Hey, this looks like a neat
idea! Let's get a couple." We did and we found that
The
Towel Grip® was the best darn thing
since sliced bread! I placed The
Towel Grip® on my lounge and my towel
stayed right where it as supposed to!

Other
folks saw The Towel Grip®,
commented on what a neat idea it was and asked me where they could buy
one. (Plus, I wanted more myself, to give as gifts!) The problem
was, I didn't have any idea where to get them! It seemed as if nobody
even knew where these things came from. However, not being one to
give up easily, I persevered and -- finally after an extensive search
-- I found the fellow who makes
The Towel
Grip®. I made arrangements
with him to ship me a supply, so I could make them available to my
web site visitors. So, now you can have one -- or a bunch!

The
Towel Grip® is made of injection molded
plastic, is 12" long by 2" high by 1½" wide
and comes in a variety of colors, as the graphics above show. (You
can click on the pictures to see an enlarged view.) It's easy
to carry a couple in a beach bag for a day at the beach or the lake, or
packed in your luggage when you head to the pool or that Caribbean island
resort for a wonderful getaway. You can even "nest" two together,
to save space.

To
use The Towel Grip®
simply drape the end of your towel across the top bar on backrest, leaving
a couple of inches on the reverse side of the backrest. Then place
The
Towel Grip® on the towel covered bar and just
press down firmly

The
cost to you is just$5.00 each (plus $1.00
shipping and handling each) payable by
personal check or cashier's check. (Sorry, I can't accept credit
cards.)

If
you'd like to order one (or more) of The
Towel Grip® for yourself -- or a dozen,
to use as gifts for your friends -- just click here
for a printer friendly form.

Print
out the form and enter your full name, full mailing address
and the order quantify (in the Description block), along
with the extended amounts for The Towel
Grip® and the shipping/handling charge
Then, mail the completed order form, along with your personal check made
payable to "Jim Jordan," to Yours Truly using the mailing address
shown on the order form. As soon as your order is received, I'll
ship you order for The Towel Grip®
out immediately via US Mail, first class postage. Enjoy!

NOTE:
Some newer lounges (such as the molded white plastic lounges at some of
the SuperClubs' properties) do not have the conventional aluminum top cross
bar. However, on these lounges, it was found that the The
Towel Grip® can be placed just under
the top crossbar, where the lacing is, and it will work. If you experience
a problem and find that The Towel Grip®
doesn't work on the lounges where you vacation, we will happily refund
your money (less the shipping and handling fee).
